I’d like to welcome any She Writes members dropping by from the Blogger Ball Redux. I had a such wonderful time discovering fellow member’s blogs last go round and can’t wait to connect with some more talented writers this weekend.
As part of the getting to know you suggestion, I thought I’d share the first ten quirky things about me that come to mind:
1. I can still recite the entire To Be or Not To Be soliloquy from Hamlet at a spit-fire pace twenty years after I memorized it for drama class.
2. I am distantly related to a famous pirate.
3. I cannot think of a dessert I do not like. Some may be better than others, but they are all good in some way, shape, or form.
4. I don’t like big weddings and think everyone should just elope. And don’t even think of asking me to be a bridesmaid. Guess that’s why running a bridal boutique was not the right career for me.
5. I can’t watch television, work out, or do much of anything without a book in my hands.
6. I think I am the only person in America who has never had a Starbucks coffee or watched American Idol.
7. I’ve never really seen snow.
8. I used to be nicknamed “concert girl” because I adore the thrill of getting lost in live music and would travel far and wide to see my favorite bands.
9. I actually liked being an only child and now have an only child. And yes, it will stay that way.
10. My hubby, brother-in-law, cousin and I all share the same birthday. And yes, I was careful not to get knocked-up during a certain window to carry on that tradition.
And now I’m off to dust off my dancing shoes to prepare for the ball… No, wait–actually I’ll sit here in my gym/writing clothes as I waltz through the blogosphere. I’ll save the dancing heels for my concert Sunday night…

Come sit by me in the fragrant section of the ball room
🙂
Ha! I’m right there with you in my gym clothes… fragrant as well. But, I won’t say anything if you won’t. 🙂
Cool! Stopping by from the Blogger Ball. Love your blog. New follower too…
I’ve never watched American Idol either. As for Starbucks…I’ve never had any of their coffee. I don’t like coffee. But I have had a few of their non-coffee drinks. 🙂
Stopping by for the blogger ball. I don’t like big weddings either. I think it’s a waste of money. My husband and I had a very small wedding and it was very nice (inexpensive, too). I also can’t workout or watch tv without a book in hand!
I really like your blog. I’m following.
I’m already a follower, but I decided to pop by for the ball. It’s not very often that I get to attend a shindig thrown by a famous pirate’s relative 😉
Hi Vinobaby! I am a visitor from She Writes and I love your style. I will be following you!
Keep blogging!
Love your list. Anytime you want to see snow, just call me!
Hi there – I’m another visitor from the blogger ball: great blog! I am happy to have found a cheap wine connoisseur with such wit! I also happen to agree with you that every dessert has merit. You have an engaging writing style and I plan to return.
